Definitions
- the present invention relates to the biological treatment of effluents from wine cellars.
- yeasts whose metabolism is generally employed for the purpose of manufacturing high value-added molecules such as ethanol, flavors, short and long-chain fatty acids is well known in the field of biotechnology. These processes are known as anaerobic fermentation.
- yeasts when these yeasts are placed under aerobic conditions, they modify their metabolism. The substrate carbon is then used only for the production of biomass.
- Huyard et al. showed that the aerobic metabolism of yeasts could be used to remove the carbon pollution from waste water.
- the success of this operation depends on the adaptation of these pure strains to the substrate.
- the latter is often very heterogeneous, that is to say it consists of a multiplicity of molecules.
- the result is that, because most of the yeasts used are not adapted to this substrate, the period of acclimation or adaptation of these yeast strains to the substrate is thereby all the longer and more unpredictable.
- the invention proposes to use these yeasts under aerobic conditions so as to remove the pollution caused by effluents from wine cellars.
- the invention provides a process for the biological treatment of effluents from wine cellars in which the process essentially consists in transferring the yeasts contained in the effluents to a medium into which oxygen or air is continuously supplied so that the yeasts, placed under aerobic conditions, immediately begin to consume the carbon substrates of these effluents in which they develop, thus ensuring the treatment thereof.
- the use according to the invention of the said yeasts for this biological treatment does not require any specific inoculation or period of adaptation or acclimation of the yeasts to the substrates.
- the invention also relates to a device for implementing the process specified above, which essentially comprises a reactor consisting of a tank equipped with means for the diffusion of oxygen or air in the form of fine bubbles, it being possible, in addition, for this tank to be provided with mechanical stirring means, positioned at the bottom of the tank so as to eliminate any dead space.
- the pH of the medium is regulated at a value less than 3.5 so as to limit the development of bacteria.
- FIGURE of the attached drawing represents very schematically, by way of example, and in perspective, an embodiment of a reactor for implementing the invention.
- This reactor is therefore provided in the form of a tank 10 into which a conduit 12 for feeding air or oxygen under pressure opens, this conduit supplying a plurality of diffusers such as 14, consisting for example of pipes equipped with diffusers or nozzles for introducing air or oxygen in the form of fine bubbles into the mass of effluent to be treated which is contained in the tank 10.
- the latter comprises, in addition,
- bottom stirrers 16 ensuring an efficient mixing of the effluent in order to eliminate any dead space.
- the yeasts contained in the effluent are thus placed under aerobic conditions and they consume the carbon substrates of these effluents so as to ensure the treatment thereof. Provision is made to regulate of the pH of the effluent mass at a value less than 3.5 so as to limit the development of the bacteria.
- the two purifying techniques were compared: on the one hand, the aerobic purification by yeasts and on the other the traditional activated sludge.
- the same effluent received applied voluminal loads, expressed in Kg of soluble DCO/m3 per day that were very different.
- the initial load in the yeast purification pilot plant was initially set at 3 kg of soluble DCO/m3 per day and increased to reach 20 kg DCO/m3 per day after 15 days, with a very good purifying output (in the order of 90%).
